Lilit [14]3 years ago

In Longitudinal waves, particles of the medium vibrate around their mean positions. Their amplitude of vibration is in the direction of the propagation of the wave. In transverse wave of longitudinal wave, <em>the wavelength is always the distance between two particles which are in the same phase.</em>

If we take pressure waves, (sound waves), we have pressure variations created by sound wave along its path. Pressure is maximum at compression regions and pressure is minimum at rarefaction region. In between the two, pressure of air remains as the pressure when there is no wave.

<em>The wave length is then the distance between two consecutive rarefactions or two consecutive compression regions.</em>

<em>It is also the distance traveled by the wave in one time period.</em> Time period is the time the particles in the medium take to vibrate towards the end, turn back to reach the other end of their oscillation and then reach back their position.

21. True or False: Static friction prevents you from slipping when you walk on a sidewalk.​
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Yes it is true because static friction help us to make grip between the foot and the ground surface

Explanation:

Yes, as we know that the friction between two surface is of two types

1) Static friction

2) Kinetic friction

When two surface moves relative to each other then the friction force between two surface is kinetic friction and it always opposes the relative motion of two rough surface

While when one surface has tendency to move with respect to its contact surface but if it can not move on it then in this case it is static friction

So relative motion is not possible in this type of friction

So static friction helps to prevent slipping

A proton with a velocity in the positive x-direction enters a region where there is a uniform magnetic field B in the positive y
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Negative z-direction.

Explanation:

We need to determine the direction of the magnetic force. Since the velocity of the proton is in the positive x direction, and the magnetic field is in the positive y direction, we know by the vectorial formula F=q(v\times B) (or, alternatively, with the <em>left hand rule</em>) that the magnetic force points in the positive z-direction (also taking into account that <u>the charge is positive</u>), so the electric field should be in the negative z-direction to balance it.

trasher [3.6K]

Explanation:

With most of our blue planet covered by water, it's little wonder that, centuries ago, the oceans were believed to hide mysterious creatures including sea serpents and mermaids. Merfolk (mermaids and mermen) are, of course, the marine version of half-human, half-animal legends that have captured human imagination for ages. One source, the "Arabian Nights," described mermaids as having "moon faces and hair like a woman's but their hands and feet were in their bellies and they had tails like fishes."

C.J.S. Thompson, a former curator at the Royal College of Surgeons of England, notes in his book "The Mystery and Lore of Monsters" that "Traditions concerning creatures half-human and half-fish in form have existed for thousands of years, and the Babylonian deity Era or Oannes, the Fish-god ... is usually depicted as having a bearded head with a crown and a body like a man, but from the waist downwards he has the shape of a fish." Greek mythology contains stories of the god Triton, the merman messenger of the sea, and several modern religions including Hinduism and Candomble (an Afro-Brazilian belief) worship mermaid goddesses to this day.
